Power Systems
Relaying
Third Edition
The third edition of Power
System Relaying is a book that
can help many students, as well
as practicing specialists, to expand
their knowledge and understanding
of protection and its operation and
impact, not only in the cases of
different types of faults within the
zone of protection, but also during
abnormal system conditions and
wide area disturbances.
The authors of the book are both
well known gurus in the industry,
with extensive experience not only
as utility protection engineers in
American Electric Power (AEP)
Service Corporation, but also in
teaching and active involvement
in professional organizations like
CIGRE and IEEE. This allows them
present the complex material and
concepts in the book in a very
clear way, while at the same time
providing the detailed description
of the different phenomena and the
operating principles of various types
of protection relays.
The book includes thirteen
chapters and four appendices. The
first nine chapters cover protection
fundamentals, distribution feeder
and transmission line protection –
including
communications
based solutions, as well as
transformer, rotating machinery,
bus , reac tor and c apacitor
protection.
Each chapter offers detailed
discussions of the different aspects
of the subject, as well as examples,
problems and references.
The recent blackout s in
different countries around the
world demonstrated the impact
of protection on wide area
disturbances.
Chapter 10 covers power
system phenomena and relaying
considerations and can be very
helpful in understanding the
dynamic behavior of the electric
power system, steady-state,
transient and voltage stability,
the impact of independent power
producers and islanding.
Chapter 11 then focuses on
some advanced protection topics
related to the protection of the
electric power system - system
integrity protection schemes,
underfrequency and undervoltage
load shedding, out-of-step relaying
and adaptive protection. Hidden
failures and the impact of distance
relay polarizing are also discussed.
The last two chapters of the
book cover a range of protection
related issues, such as breaker
failure, reclosing and single-phase
operation, relay setting and testing,
as well as operation analysis.
Discussions on fault location,
oscillography analysis, COMTRADE
and synchrophasor standards are
included in the last chapter.
